Seaside Quilter's Building Blocks Quilt

Seaside Quilter writes:

"Thank you Leah and Josh Day for a superb quilt along. There were so
many 'firsts' for me - first house block, basket, disappearing nine
patch, FMQ straight lines, spirals and circles, joining the blocks ...
I've learned such a lot and loved being part of this group which has been
so supportive and inspiring.

"I only started patchwork in 2013 so don't have a stash
but used left overs from the projects I'd completed last year. The
batting is polyester. I used Isacord thread in the top and a cotton
Mettler thread in the bobbin. I now have 2 Gidget tables, love the
quilting gloves and the supreme slider. I started the blocks on a
Bernette 25 then upgraded to an Elna Excellence 760."

Hi Marsha - You can actually still join in this quilt along anytime. The videos will stay up and the pattern is still available at LeahDay.com so feel free to join in and make your own Building Blocks Quilt!

A Little Advice from Leah:

Stop stressing about perfection. Perfection does not exist past 25 inches! Actually, make that 5 inches.

Don't be afraid of your tension dial - it was put there for a reason.

Quilt because it makes you happy, not because you need to "finish this damn quilt!"

If you've never quilted before and are waiting for that perfect day when the kids are grown or you're retired, STOP WAITING! Today is the day, now is the time, get off your butt and do it!

Eat, Quilt, Sleep, Repeat.
